Michael Rand’s Latest Podcast: Twin Baseball, Bally Sports’ Pricing Dispute, and NBA Emotional Control

In the first part of Thursday’s impressive lineup, host Michael Rand talks about the recent success of the Minnesota Twins. The team has won an incredible 14 out of their last 16 games, including a 6-3 victory on Wednesday. This streak has boosted their record to 21-15 overall and has brought them just 2.5 games back in the AL Central.

One of the key factors behind their recent success is Ryan Jeffers, who is currently fourth in the majors in slugging percentage. Additionally, Chris Paddack secured his fourth consecutive win in Wednesday’s victory.

At 8:00 pm, Bally Sports North General Manager Randy Stephens joins the show to discuss the pricing dispute with Comcast that resulted in Bally Sports channels being removed nationwide from Comcast last week. Stephens provides an update on the message to fans and outlines the next steps in resolving the issue.

After that discussion, Michael turns his attention to NBA teams who are struggling to maintain their composure during games. The show delves into how these teams can stay focused and control their emotions during high-pressure situations.
